Question 1 of 5
A nurse administers an antimuscarinic to a patient. A decrease in which findings indicate the patient is having therapeutic effects from this medication? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A;B;C
Rationale: The correct answers are A, B, and C. Antimuscarinic drugs help alleviate symptoms of overactive bladder by reducing urgency, frequency, and dysuria. Urgency is the sudden, strong need to urinate, frequency is the need to urinate often, and dysuria is painful urination. These symptoms are indicative of an overactive bladder, and a decrease in them indicates therapeutic effects of the antimuscarinic medication. Prostate size (
D) is not directly affected by antimuscarinic drugs. Bladder infection (E) is not a symptom that would be alleviated by this medication.
